> The easiest way to expand medicine access ...

This seems to suppose one (or both) of two things:

1) access to medicine is limited because of the supply of health care providers, so more providers would help
2) access to medicine is limited due to cost, and more providers would force the cost down, as per "supply and demand", "the market" etc.

I'm not aware of much evidence for (1), though I don't deny that it is possible. For (2) to be true, it would have to be the case there can actually be a competitive marketplace for all kinds of health care, and we know that this is not true for (at least) emergency care. Many volumes have been written by people much smarter than me that explain the many reasons why health care is not really susceptible to what are supposedly "normal market" behaviors and benefits. Just increasing the number of doctors will (a) not necessarily drive down the cost of health care nor (b) expand access to health care.

> This why we have to be careful about generalizing from our own experience conclusively :)

Certainly in general, this is true. But when the claim is that "anyone who wants a good physician" would do this, not so much. Falsifiability, and all that.

> People ought to take more responsibility ...

This is a moral statement, not some sort of fundamental statement about the nature of reality. Not only is the level of personal responsibility up for the debate, but so is the form such responsibility should take. Citizens in many other countries have chosen to "take more responsibility" for their healthcare in different ways than you are proposing (by taking aggregate action to create socialized health care systems that delegate many things to the system, intentionally).

> Perhaps you haven’t noticed but the watchers in government agencies and the for-profit, big salary corporations they are supposed to be watching are the same people. its called “regulatory capture” and “revolving door”.

Speaking of over-generalizing ... also, "There’s how things are, and how things should be." I do not believe that regulatory capture is an inevitable outcome of a democratic-ish governmental structure.
He's saying there's no such thing as fundamental value, and as a result, collectively pumping a stock to induce a short squeeze is no different that spotting an undervalued company.

Anyone with half a brain should be able to recognize that GME moving from a 900m market cap to a 30b market cap in a few weeks is completely nonsensical.
They could eventually use ethernet over HDMI or simply include a cellular modem of some sort. The profit is there.

But a simpler solution that we are already seeing a bit is to simply require a network connection to function at all; for now, it's just a periodic check, but a persistent connection requirement is all but inevitable in the medium term.
I'm not a user of screencast, but I don't remember aim having that. Am i wrong ?
Thanks for the links. I was not familiar with these and yes hierarchical structure could be useful. We're planning to add public categories into the list, maybe we can use the categories structure from DMOZ. The categories are neatly organized there.
Backwards compatibility. You remember all those folks complaining about Python 2 vs 3? Turns out even renaming Thread.isalive to is_alive caused a ruckus. Imagine how much yelling you'd hear if you changed float to Float.

I've come to like the self variable name convention. It takes so little effort to type and makes the behavior more clear. Well, some aspects of it, I suppose. I make a fair amount of use of unbound methods.

I use a tool called Vimium so I don't need my mouse to navigate websites, and it really quickly highlights websites that have accessibility problems. Even before this though, my preference was websites that use standard elements, as so frequently people can't write robust code and boutique buttons, drop downs or other widgets break.

> meanwhile, our ancestors ate nothing but meat for millions of years

Our ancestors ate almost entirely plants. Even we modern humans only recently started getting a significant proportion of our caleries from meat/animal fat.

Now we have cardiovascular diseases being the main cause of death and one of the leading causes of poor quality life in peoples final years. It's unfortunate
“Take away the right to say ‘fuck’ and you take away the right to say ‘fuck the government.” -- Lenny Bruce

I've never really understood the drive to banish profanity or insults. The purpose of language is to communicate ideas and I see no reason why it should be unacceptable for someone to express their disapproval at a situation or individual in the succinct way that profanity provides.

If anything profanity is far more mundane than the kinds of words a particularly clever person can string together to convey a heinous idea.
If you go through life comparing yourself to people who are "better" than you, you're bound to be constantly disappointed by your relative lack of success.

The only person worth comparing yourself to is yourself.

I think the long history of events like these, particularly the more recent publicised ones, are going to push lots of communities, and by extension the Internet, to decentralisation.

That's good and bad because communities can't be shut down when they shouldn't, and can't be shut down when they should.
It would probably be the loiter. Sure you can order in something and it gets dropped. Then the fighter returns to base. The A-10 affords flexibility to those units that are doing counterinsurgency against people that will attack, retreat, attack, retreat, attack. So you can probably use the A-10 repeatedly as you track down where the "enemy" is.

Plus, maybe you didn't get the first sighting correct, or once the JDAM hits a bunch of others scurry and you want more.
Section 230 absolves them of said risk entirely. Amazon's hand wasn't forced.

And quite frankly, I don't buy that accusation. That seems like a convenient, unfalsifiable canard, doubly so when all the tech companies acted in concern.

And please stop with the "1st amendment" thing, which nobody in this conversation even mentioned. This observation is off-topic and the very definition of a dead horse in a conversation about what the law ought to do.

Disclaimer: Excuse me if my statements are possibly utterly wrong due to me not having ever used Discord.

Wikipedia says:

> Discord is an American VoIP, instant messaging and digital distribution platform designed for creating communities.

Don't we have a metric fton of instant messengers which support VoIP and some file transfer?

What's so special about Discord?

To me as an outsider it merely seems like the kids have decided TeamSpeak isn't cool anymore and now Discord is cool.

Perhaps in a few weeks they will flock to the next voice chat which they decide is now cool. What's the big deal?
> It becomes manipulation when its coordinated.

Does this mean investment firms are inherently manipulative, since they coordinate investments for their investors? They're doing the same thing - investing in bulk, hoping to catch the rising tide. When big investment firms and famous traders make announcements it affects the stock price too, you know.

I'm not trying to be obtuse. I just don't see how you can make an objective distinction.

I'd argue you could say everyone investing in TSLA is coordinating a pump-and-dump scheme as that stock is insanely overpriced as well.

You then have to manufacture enough doses and distribute them. It's still a nightmare.
I'm not sure what your point is. There are appropriate and inappropriate ways to use words. Making fun of the neuro-atypicals is inappropriate, joking with likeminded folks in a community built around such is likely appropriate. You've just that word you are complaining about, should you be banned?

Washington has been extremely good for these men. Leaving to avoid a 1% wealth tax would be a pretty bad look, and honestly there are few places where they'd have a better time of it anyhow. They are looking to raise $2B/yr for the state with the tax, which is a minuscule amount given the kinds of growth these two individuals experienced in their wealth in 2020.
I'm going to get downvoted for this for sure, but man it's nice to see a hacker news commentator that actually has a pair.

Genius is relative. For most of the world any dev is a genius. For devs, john carmack is a genius. For EE Shannon is a genius. For academics Galois/Gauss/Grothendieck are geniuses.

True genius as in having a burst of epiphany, an indescribable out of control impulse leading an eureka might not even be tied to a person..

It's something that I wonder often about because as a kid I had a few eureka moments and this was a rare bliss. Since college I lost it. I failed hard in maths yet with time I finally clicked .. and I wonder if the smartest people also have similar struggle or if everything is always lightweight inspiration after inspiration finding partial solutions then improved solutions.
I really think it's just the majority of Discord users being from everything but IRC.

Discord servers filled with former/current IRC users rarely have any issues in my experience.
> use either an <a> or a <button>

Generally, it should be noted that an <a> tag is only appropriate if it makes sense to right-click this element and get options to "open in new tab" or "add to bookmarks". All the stupid "buttons" implemented as <a href="#"> + e.preventDefault() need to die.
I don’t understand the logic here. Yes, of course a wealthy person will be able to pay for procedures and avoid going broke. Isn’t this universally true? Perhaps you meant the US is poorly designed for poor people, which is not something you can say about every country.
Instagram = Facebook.

They serve very different audiences. Facebook and Discord seem to be the most intrusive, as they displaced many mediums. I cannot communicate with my homeowner group, because I am banned by facebook for using profanities.

Then Facebook decides to leave political posts proliferate unchecked, while I can't use the word baboon. I personally hate Facebook so much that I told the recruiters to GTFO and never contact me.
So I am not sure that I understand the question. I.e. I would like to separate the online notebook development (which is done against jupyterhub) - I.e. an interactive session against a container, from the batch job execution of the notebook. Usually you would like to convert the notebook to python code in the batch case.

Are you looking for EXECUTION of the notebook on a cloud VM? I.e. as a k8s job?
Interesting analysis. I didn't see enough variety of examples, specifically animations or even game AI.

Uncanny valleys was quite common in games and 3d back in the day. 3d modeling anatomy, like faces, bodies, etc., required a lot of training to pull off properly, otherwise you ended up with the uncanny valley. Now with motion capture, and 3d scanning (plus other tech of course) games and movies are basically humans acting, and there is almost no uncanny valley.

The video touches on part of what causes it, but the real cause is just attempting to recreate a human face REALISTICALLLY. Doing so in 3d was hard, and the industry avoided uncanny valleys in commercial content because of great artists, but software doesn't have the limitations of hardware. Recreating humans in hardware will take way more than a great artist, if it is ever possible. Chances are we will avoid the uncanny valley all-together, and just make smart robots that have that simplified cartoon look to them.
I still have nightmares battling the win32 windowing system. Look at all the window when resizing, how they stutter, streak, flip. That's the broken windowing system. At it's core, it's a classic race condition, the window size, controlled by the os is updated, the software needs to repaint it, if it doesn't do it before the next compositor redraw, yikes.
Sadly, nobody seems to care and microsoft "fixed" it in UWP.

My own interest in nootropics is some years behind me now, but I note that Nootropics Depot does have bulk phenylpiracetam powder in stock, and I don't recall filling my own capsules to have been especially difficult. Slow and exacting work, to be sure, but also the kind of work that a good podcast or TV show helps go faster. With a little practice and a good capsule filling machine, you can make a month's worth of doses in a couple of hours - cheaper than buying prefilled capsules, too.
Some consoles have disk drives. Playstation released their "Digital Edition" Playstation 5 which doesn't have a disk drive, and Microsoft released the Xbox Series S which also doesn't have a disk drive. Phones and tablets never did have disk drives, and the gaming market on them is large.

I think it's pretty clear that the days of physically buying games are quickly coming to an end. Years ago there were chains of computer software stores, and long after that, stores like Best Buy had huge computer software sections. The same thing will happen to games now that every console is connected to high speed internet.

Gamestop has lost money for the past two years, and it only shows signs of getting worse.
I have an LG C9, and I much prefer the integration and smart apps over slower Chromecast/Fire sticks. I can also cast to my TV and still use the remote in the Youtube app when casting (for example). It's a pretty good UX and the C9 has enough compute resources for everything to be very snappy. I could drop more on something like the nVidia Shield, but I already have an HTPC hooked up to my TV, running a Plex server as well as letting me use MPC-HC if I need to.

I've made my peace with the telemetry ramifications though I have not accepted a number of privacy policy notices so things aren't all that bad.
That seems to be contrary to the sentiment expressed in the reddit post - "There's also too much political bullshit in a community that was never ever political. The only way I want to occupy Wall St is in a suit myself or rent-free in the mind of a blown up short."
You are confusing command line and terminal here, I believe. Note how OP was specifically using emacs as an example. From your "store and share commands" point of view so called TUIs (like emacs in terminal) are as opaque as GUIs (emacs in X11).
There seems to be many reported ways to reduce Diabetes Type 2 issues. Most of them involve the reduction of insulin related foods. Carnivore, Keto, Vegetarian etc (without processed grains), and of course caloric restriction/control via IF.

Personally my preferences involve eating meat, and Keto was exception good at reducing my blood sugar, and many other medical issues such as hypertension. I did think about going vegetarian, but it just doesn't suit my situation.
Ask HN: How would you improve Quora?
Hey HN! In the past couple of years, Quora has lost its charm. I used to visit the site regularly to read up on niche fields, since a lot of experts in those field used to write extensively on the platform.

However, since then the product seems to have become progresively worse. The feed is flooded with ads that have no relevance to me, the top answers are by users obviously trying to fish for upvotes and engagement. The UX is equally confusing (Spaces, Voices, Topics?). I'd really love to see Quora back to its old design and format: a site that aggregates relevant topics, with experts answering questions.

How did the product get so bad, and how would you fix it if given a chance?

Thanks in advance for your time!
Slowly, but surely, more and more words are being chipped away from the definition of free speech.

Putting the free speech thing aside, the problem here is that it can and it is being used as a pretext to silence the dissidents and the opposition.
The "Universality" section is especially interesting. They found these high-low frequency neurons in a number of different network architectures, and at around the same network depth in each case. I wonder how this insight could be useful. Can you train a network layer by layer and then connect the pre-trained layers? Like maybe train a "high-low frequency detector" layer on generated inputs of high-low frequency images, and then somehow put it 1/3 of the way into a network, maybe one whose other layers have been trained similarly to recognize other features.
Sanitation engineer was always a joke, I think.

But engineer also referred to train operators and the third crew position on an airliner is typically a "flight engineer" so there is something there.

I need to replace my car in the next year. I was thinking of either going with a hybrid (Rav 4), because of price/range + extra hp. Or going with a something like a new corvette, because I figure these will become a collectible once the switch to electric is made on mass. Range anxiety, and having to worry about recharging is the biggest thing stopping me from pure electric. Plus I think they should be much cheaper, since its a simpler car to build (fewer mech parts), less interior space, worse interior and so on.
And how much it would cost when you're trapped
The main problem seems to be that computer scientists don't care about history. That seems a bit strange to me, since there is no lack of people to analyse the historical parts of mathematics of physics. Maybe the problem is that computer science history doesn't seem like history yet since it is relatively recent?

well, we do know that combusting plant matter and inhaling the smoke is bad for any plant (although particularly bad for tabacco). For the actual effects of the active ingredients though it's definitely not clear cut either way.
Same on my 2017 LG OLED.

I turned off the personalised adverts, if that even does anything. Occasionally they have an ad on the home screen, but it's small and not obnoxious (right now there is one for The Hunt on Amazon Prime). They mainly have ads in the app store as they sell content, but I rarely use that. I've never seen ads inserted in content.

The built in Netflix, YouTube and Amazon apps are good enough for my needs. Compared to an external device it's actually better, as you can configure picture settings per app. I have Netflix with a more cinematic settings, where as YouTube is toned down a little and not so bright. I have been thinking of getting a Chromecast so it's easier to share content from my PC (the TV supports Miracast but it's not great), but that's it.

Unfortunately I believe that the article is a Tesla pump because it also pumps the self driving yet pie in the sky feature to be that is not available for review.

Tesla had to provide charging stations to sell their cars and California provided them with subsidy.

Charging stations should eventually converge to support all electric cars to allow for independent operators rather than a price gauging opportunity to prevent captive consumers in future.

This is true. But shares are fungible. So, even if Alice sells, the broker will just locate 100 different shares on the loan market and invisibly swap them out for Bob. Very likely whoever Alice sells her shares to, will also put them up for lending.

Discord isn't on your side. They're an unprofitable (so far) VC-backed company whose only customer-facing product is a well-designed chat client. They're clearly trying to build a platform for PR- and ad-friendly discourse. Nobody should be surprised when weirdos get the ban.
Parler showed how hypocritical people are.

A pizza place gets bashed for saying that they wouldn't serve pizza to a same sex wedding - they get bashed by one group and praised by another. Payment systems cancel Parler - one group praises private actions, the other bashes it.

I hate Parler, but it showed that both sides are rotten authoritarians.

I'm working from memory, but AIM at the peak had webcam support and a very rudimentary screen share component. I keep thinking the name of it was "AIM Share", but Googling that does not bring up mentions of it.

So you joined a server and went crying to teacher since you saw a bad word you didn't like instead of just leaving the server and letting it be. It is people like you who are the problem.
